In this article we will consider what cardiac arrhythmia is, we will outline the general recommendations for its treatment, and most importantly, how and what to treat and cure arrhythmia at home by folk remedies, at the end of the article you will find medications, tablets andmedicines for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
Cardiac arrhythmia , or cardiac arrhythmias is, let's say, inconsistency, incoherence in its proper functioning. Cardiac arrhythmia is a pathological condition that causes disturbances in frequency, rhythm and sequence of excitation and contraction of the heart. By arrhythmia means any heart rhythm that differs from the normal sinus rhythm prescribed in the standards of the World Health Organization( WHO) in 1978.With this pathological condition, significant disturbances of normal and complete contractile activity of the heart are possible, which can lead to a number of serious complications.
The term "arrhythmia" unites various mechanisms, clinical manifestations and prognostic value of impaired education and electrical impulse.
CONTENTS
Reasons for
In a normal healthy person, the heart contracts rhythmically, that is, pulse waves follow each other at identical intervals and have equal strength. This is the rhythm of cardiac contractions. This rhythm can be violated in the following cases:
- with heart conductor disorder;
- with change in normal nerve excitability, innervating the heart( sympathetic nerve and wandering);
- with disorders in the muscle tissue of the atria and ventricles.
There are the following types of heart rhythm disturbances: tachycardia, bradycardia, respiratory arrhythmia, extrasystole.
Types of arrhythmias
Tachycardia
Tachycardia is the increase in heart rate to 100-120 beats per minute. Occurs when the sympathetic nervous system is excited or when the vagus nerve is depressed. Tachycardia can also be observed in a healthy person with physical activity, agitation, fright, fever, intoxication, poisoning with morphine, caffeine, nicotine, etc.
The increase in the number of heartbeats always indicates that in the human body not everything is well and should be takenUrgent measures.
Bradycardia
If the number of heartbeats decreases to 40-50 in one minute, they speak of bradycardia, a decrease in the pulse rate.
Most often, bradycardia is observed with an increase in the tone of the vagus nerve, usually when it is irritated due to the squeezing of the nerve tumor, dropsy, with meningitis.
Bradycardia can be reflex( peritonitis, flatulence, liver and gallbladder disease) or occur with sclerotic lesions of the sinus node( a neural-reflex node regulating innervation of the heart).
In some perfectly healthy people, a bradycardia can be congenital( Napoleon's pulse did not exceed 40 beats per minute throughout his life).
As a rule, the number of heartbeats is always lower in athletes, divers and people engaged in heavy physical labor.
Respiratory arrhythmia
When inhaling, the number of cardiac contractions becomes more frequent, and with exhalation becomes less frequent. As a result, heart contractions become arrhythmic. More often it is called youthful, as it is usually observed in healthy children and young men. In adults, respiratory arrhythmia can occur with neurotic conditions, with severe exhaustion or when recovering from a serious illness. This kind of arrhythmia eventually passes and does not need treatment.
Extrasystoles
Heartbeat pulses that occur in the sinus node pass through the heart's wiring system and cause atrial and ventricular contractions at regular intervals.
Extra( or additional) abbreviations can appear in case of receiving additional pulses that can occur at any point of the wire system. Extrasystoles are divided into atrial-ventricular, sinus and ventricular. After each extrasystole, the resting interval of the heart muscle( diastole) usually lengthens. Extrasystoles most often occur through a certain number of normal contractions of the heart - after each 4, 10, 12 th strokes.
Extrasystoles are usually perceived by patients as a heart failure. The cause of their occurrence may be cicatricial or inflammatory changes in the tissue of the heart muscle( after a heart attack, with myocarditis, diphtheria, typhus, etc.).Extrasystoles can also occur in perfectly healthy young people during puberty, often they occur in smokers and people with increased nervous excitability. This type of extrasystoles can be easily eliminated even without medication( gymnastics, water procedures, etc.).
Atrial fibrillation
This is a sharp violation of the heart rhythm, characterized by the appearance of random reductions without any regularity. It occurs in diseases of the thyroid gland( thyrotoxicosis), with cardiosclerosis, sometimes with hypertension.
Atrial fibrillation may be both bradycardic( the number of heartbeats is up to 80 per minute), and tachycardic( the number of heartbeats reaches 100).Often with atrial fibrillation, pulse waves have an unequal value. This is because full-fledged contractions of the heart alternate with contractions that occur when there is insufficient filling of the blood of the heart. Therefore, the amount of blood discharged into the vascular system is inadequate, the organs and tissues experience oxygen starvation, and heart dyspnea arises.
At cardiosclerosis, atrial fibrillation has a permanent character.
Paroxysmal tachycardia
This disease is characterized by sudden onset heart attacks, when the patient feels sudden tremors at the beginning and end of the attack. The number of cardiac strokes with paroxysmal tachycardia can reach 200 per minute. It is often impossible to count the pulse of a patient. Seizures can occur 1-3 times a day. But sometimes they are rare -
1-2 times a year. The frequency of seizures depends on the cause that caused the paroxysmal tachycardia. There are often cases when the attack does not pass a few days, then the patient has circulatory disorders, there are swelling, cyanosis. During an attack, patients complain of a fluttering heart and experience a fear of death. They are usually pale, the face is covered with a cold sweat. The paroxysmal tachycardia attack ends as suddenly as it began.
The cause of this disease is a violation of the nervous system. In this case, the normal( sinus) rhythm is disrupted and replaced by pulses occurring in the conductor system located below the sinus node.
Prevention of heart rhythm disturbances and conduction occurs mainly from the following activities:
- Fighting neuroses and eliminating neurotic conditions.
- Fighting rheumatism and heart valve apparatus lesions.
- Prevention of atherosclerosis.
Treatment of arrhythmias: general recommendations for treatment
In case of cardiac rhythm disturbances, first of all, it is necessary to cure the underlying disease: cardiosclerosis, rheumatism, myocarditis, cardiac neuroses, etc.
It is important to keep your weight under control. Eat a little, because a full stomach irritates the vagus nerve. And this, in turn, depresses the functions of the sinus node, in which heart impulses arise.
Avoid static loads( lifting weights), as they cause an increase in blood pressure, which leads to activation of the heart. This can lead to a violation of the rhythm and pace of heartbeats.
Next, consider various home recipes, tips and advice from traditional healers, healers and healers.

Amber acid in folk medicine for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders
In the last 10-12 years, several articles and publications have appeared on the beneficial effects of succinic acid on patients with heart disease, blood vessels and on the treatment of this elderly person with this acid.
In one of the articles( YA Shpirt "On the way to longevity"), the author writes that if you take amber acid together with mummies, you can live "as long as you want" and that succinic acid is valuable in that it finds in the bodysites that need it. When patients with cardiovascular diseases are treated with succinic acid, after three weeks the general condition of patients is significantly improved: they become active, cheerfulness, good mood, appetite appear. The swelling of the lower extremities disappears without the use of diuretics, the pulse becomes fuller and less frequent( up to 70 beats per minute, instead of 100-160).Pain and unpleasant sensations in the region of the heart pass, sleep becomes calm and deep. Succinic acid can be used in the treatment of patients with sclerosis, with hypertension, chronic cardiopulmonary insufficiency. After long courses of drugs, it can be appointed as a supportive agent in the intervals between exacerbations.
Succinic acid is useful for elderly and senile patients along with glucose.
Amber acid in significant amounts is found in immature fruits of gooseberries and grapes, a lot of it in turnip juice and sugar beet, in a rhubarb. In sugar cane juice, 50 mg of succinic acid per 100 g of dry residue, in barley and sunflower - 5 mg per 100 g of seeds. However, most of all succinic acid in alfalfa.
Succinic acid is used in a dose of 0.5 g after meals, in the form of salt. With the improvement of overall health, the appearance of vivacity, calm normal sleep, the dose of succinic acid can be reduced to 0.25 g. Usually, the patient himself regulates the reception of the drug depending on the state of health. If the condition does not improve, the dose can be increased to 0.5 g twice daily after meals. In the treatment of succinic acid, you must adhere to a certain scheme: three days - taking the drug, two days - a break.
After heavy physical exertion, a single intake of 2.5-3 g of the drug is possible.
Prevention of arrhythmias
Prevention of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction is, first, in the removal of neurotic conditions;secondly, in the fight against rheumatic and other lesions of the valvular apparatus and cardiac muscle;thirdly, in carrying out preventive measures against atherosclerosis.
In arrhythmias, agents that lower the excitability of the heart muscle are used.
Medical preparations, pills and medications for the treatment of arrhythmias.
Remember that all medications, drugs, medications and tablets can only be used according to the prescription of a therapist or cardiologist and under their control. Carefully read the instructions for using this or that medicine.
Arrhythmias caused by impaired excitability
- Quinidine 0,2-0,3 3-5 times a day( it must be remembered that quinidine is used only after elimination of the phenomena of decompensation with drugs of digitalis).As the general condition improves, the dose of quinidine gradually decreases to 0.1-0.2 g 2-3 times a day.
- Novokainamid ( used primarily for ventricular extrasystoles) 0.5-1.0 g 3-4 times per day orally or intramuscularly.
- Potassium chloride 1-2 g three times a day( usually together with quinidine or Novokainamid).
For extrasystoles, is recommended to add to the treatment of Atropine ( 0.5 mg two to three times a day).
Paroxysmal tachycardia
Treatment outside seizures is ineffective. It is required to treat those diseases that cause seizures of paroxysmal tachycardia.
For frequent seizures, quinidine is prescribed( 0.2 two to three times a day).
Sometimes the attack can interrupt the by pressing on the eyeballs of the patient ( reflex irritation of the vagus nerve).
The introduction of digitalis preparations has a good effect: digitizazide ( 0.5-1.0 ml with intravenous glucose) or strophanthin ( 0.5-1.0 ml with 20 ml of 20% glucose).
Quinidine ( 0.2-0.3 g every two to three hours under the control of a cardiogram) or Novokainamide ( 5-10 ml of 10% solution 3-4 times a day) is used to decrease the automatism of the pathological focus. It must be remembered that Novokainamide is more effective in ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia.
With a long-standing episode, defibrillation is used.
Arrhythmias caused by impaired excitability and conduction
This type of arrhythmia includes atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and ventricular flutter.
Atrial fibrillation is treated mainly with digitalis preparations and quinidine ( strophantin 0.5-1.0 ml with glucose intravenously, drip).
Quinidine is administered internally in gradually increasing doses( 0.2-0.3 g every three hours under ECG monitoring).The daily dose of quinidine in a hospital can be increased to 3.5 g. Treatment with quinidine should be combined with the appointment of Cordiamin .Treatment with large doses of quinidine should continue for 6-7 days;after the restoration of the sinus rhythm pass to maintenance doses for 1-2 months( 0.3-0.6 per day).
In case of persistent cases, combined treatment with quinidine and Novokainamide( Novokainamid is prescribed in a dose of 0.5-1 g every 6 hours).
Arrhythmias caused by flutter and ventricular fibrillation
The diagnosis of ventricular flutter is established on the basis of an electrocardiographic study.
Treatment for ventricular flutter can be effective if it is applied within 3-5 minutes after the appearance of flicker. If flutter develops, if it is not possible to stop it with the help of a defibrillator, it is necessary to immediately start a closed cardiac massage( through the thorax) and artificial respiration under increased pressure through an oxygen mask.
Sometimes it is necessary to resort to intracardiac injection of 0.5 ml of a 0.1% solution of adrenaline or to the administration of 3-5 ml of a 7.5% solution of of potassium chloride .
In the absence of complete atrioventricular blockade - intravenous injection of IZDARINA .
